PATENT FICE.

THOMAS GUMING, JR., OF BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI.

IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 120,248, dated October 24, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS GUMING, Jr., of Brookhaven, in the county of Lincoln and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plow 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact de scription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to lnake and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forining part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the plow inverted. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section ofthe saine taken through the line .r x, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists in the mode of applying an adjustable share to a plow, as hereinafter fully described and subsequently pointed out in the claim.

A represents the standard, the. upper end of which is attached to the plow-beam in the ordinary manner. To the lower part ofthe standard A is attached, orupon it is formed7 the mold-board B. C is the land-side, the forward part of the upper edge of which is beveled off, and which has an upwardlyprojecting flange, c, formed upon the inner side of the forward part to overlap the inner side of the lower part of the standard A, to which it is securely bolted. The lower edge ofthe forward part of the standard A has a long notch, c', formed in it so as, in connection with the upper edge of the land-side C, to form a slot to receive the point D. The point D is made plane or flat, and has holes or slots formed in it to receive the bolts E, by which it is secured to the mold-board B, so that byloosening the nuts of the said bolts E the point D may be moved forward as it wears; or maybe readily detached when worn out and replaced by a new point. The point D may be made of wrought-iron or steel, and the other parts ofca st-iron or of wroughtiron, as may be desired or convenient.

Having thus described lny invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters. Patent- The combination, with the mold-board and landside of a turn-plow, of share D, arranged and adjustable between them, as and for the purpose specified.
